Pork Chops with Sweet and Sour Glaze

I love this easy pork chop recipe. The apple cider glaze for this recipe is really great for an assortment of pork products. Last spring I made a ham and used this glaze for it, and it turned out better than I ever could have imagined, and next time I know to double the glaze to cover the huge ham!

Ingredients

• 2 (1-inch-thick) pork chops (1 lb total)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
  
• 1 cup apple cider
  
• 1 1/2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
  
• 2 tablespoons cider vinegar
  
• 1/2 teaspoon mustard seeds

Recipe Directions:
Pat pork chops dry and season with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then saut退 chops until browned on both sides, about 10 minutes total. Stir together cider and brown sugar and add to skillet. Simmer, uncovered, turning chops once, until meat is almost cooked through, about 3 minutes. Transfer chops to a plate. Add vinegar and mustard seeds to sauce and boil, stirring to scrape up any brown bits, until reduced to about 1/3 cup, about 5 minutes. Return chops with any juices on plate to skillet and simmer until meat is just cooked through and sauce is slightly thickened, about 2 minutes.
